PRECAUTIONS
CAUTIONS FOR USE
1If a gas appliance is used in the same room as the air conditioner, ventilate the room
periodically to prevent oxygen depletion.
2For safety, do not touch the unit with wet hands, it may cause an electric shock.
3For safety, turn the circuit breaker off when not using the unit for an extended period of
time.
4For safety, do not place anything on top of the outdoor unit or step on it.
5This unit is designed for residential use. Do not use for other applications such as in a
kennel or greenhouse to raise animals or grow plants.
6Do not block the air inlets or outlets of the unit.
7For safety, be sure to turn the unit off the circuit breaker before performing any
maintenance or cleaning.
8
Do not pour water directly on the unit. Water can cause electrical shock or equipment
failure.
9
This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons without
supervision.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
CAUTIONS FOR LOCATION / INSTALLATION
To ensure that your warranty is not cancelled, both the indoor/outdoor units and supply/
interconnecting cables must be installed by a licensed air conditioning contractor.
•The unit is designed to operate on 230-240 VAC, 50Hz
•Do not install the unit where flammable gas may leak. It may cause a fire.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON OPERATION
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE •The built-in protective
device may prevent the
unit from operating when
used out of this range.
•Condensation may form
on the air outlet if the
unit operates continu-
ously in the COOL or
DRY mode when humid-
ity is over 80 percent.
D.B. = Dry-bulb W.B. = Wet-bulb
WHEN POWER FAILURE OCCURS
This air conditioner has a memory function to store settings when a power failure occurs.
After power recovery, the unit will automatically re-start in the same settings which were active before
the power failure, except for timer settings.
If the timers were set before a power failure, they will need to be re-set after power recovery.
PREHEATING FUNCTION
In the HEAT operation, the indoor fan may not start for two to five minutes after the unit is turned on
to prevent cold air from blowing out of the unit.
DE-ICING FUNCTION
•When ice forms on the heat exchanger in the outdoor unit during the HEAT operation, an
automatic de-icer provides heat for about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the ice. During de-icing, the
inside and outside fans stop operating.
•After de-icing is completed, the unit automatically resumes operation in the HEAT mode.
HEATING EFFICIENCY
•The unit employs a heat pump that draws heat from the outside air and releases it into the room.
The outside air temperature therefore greatly affects the heating efficiency.
•If the heating efficiency is reduced due to low outside temperatures, use an additional heater.
•It takes time to warm up and heat the entire room because of the forced air circulation system.
3
TIPS ON SAVING ENERGY
Below are some simple ways to save energy when you use your air conditioner.
SET THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE
•Setting the thermostat 1°C higher than the desired temperature in the COOL mode and 2°C lower
in the HEAT mode will save approximately 10 percent in power consumption.
•Setting the temperature lower than necessary during cooling operation will result in increased
power consumption.
BLOCK DIRECT SUNLIGHT AND PREVENT DRAFTS
•Blocking direct sunlight during cooling operation will reduce power consumption.
•Close the windows and doors during opeation.
SET PROPER AIR FLOW DIRECTION TO OBTAIN THE BEST AIR
CIRCULATION
KEEP FILTER CLEAN TO ENSURE THE MOST EFFICIENT OPERATION
MAKE MOST OF THE TIMER OFF FUNCTION
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD WHEN THE UNIT IS NOT USED FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
•The indoor unit still consumes a small amount of power when it is not operating.

During operation, if the outdoor temperature changes, the temperature settings will
automatically slide as shown in the chart.
MODE CHANGEOVER
During seasons when you need COOLING at daytime and HEATING at night, or if the
room temperature should become extremely higher than the temperature setting, due
to supplementary heating equipment, the mode will automatically switch between
HEAT and COOL mode to keep the comfortable room temperature.
TIPS ABOUT AUTO MODE
In the AUTO mode, the temperature setting and mode are automatically se-
lected according to the room temperature and outdoor temperature when the
unit is turned on.

BEFORE CALLING FOR SERVICE
The following conditions do not denote equipment malfunctions
UNIT DOES NOT OPERATE
The unit will not operate if it is turned on
immediately after it is turned off. The unit will
not operate immediately after the mode is
changed. This is to protect the internal
mechanisms. Wait 3 minutes before operating
the unit.
UNIT DOES NOT SEND OUT WARM AIR
The unit is preheating or de-icing.
CRACKING NOISE
The unit may produce a cracking noise. This
sound is generated by the friction of the front
panel and other components expanding or
connecting due to a temperature change.
If the unit appears to be malfunctioning, check the following points before calling
for service.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO COOL (OR HEAT) THE ROOM EFFECTIVELY
Check the filters. If dirty,
clean them. Check the outdoor unit to
make sure nothing is blocking
the air inlet or outlet.
Check the thermostat is
proper setting.
Make sure windows and
doors are closed tightly. A large number of people in
the room can prevent the unit
from achieving the desired
temperature.
Check whether any heat-
generating appliances are
operating in the room.
ODORS
Carpet and furniture odors that entered into
the unit and the air conditioner's inner compo-
nent odors at the early stage of installation
may be sent out from the unit.
SWISHING NOISE
The soft, swishing noise is the sound of the
refrigerant flowing inside the unit.
WATER VAPOUR
•In the COOL and DRY operation, water
vapour can sometimes be seen at the air
outlet due to the difference between the
room air temperature and the air
discharged by the unit.
•In the HEAT operation, water vapour may
flow out of the outdoor unit during de-icing.
Please call for service when OPERATION Lamp and TIMER Lamp on the indicator panel blink.
ODOR EMITTED FROM THE
PLASMACLUSTER AIR OUTLET
This is the smell of ozone generated from
the ionizer. Density of the ozone is very
little, having no adverse effect over your
health. The ozone released into the air will
decompose soon, and its density in the
room will not increase.
IF THE UNIT FAILS TO OPERATE
•Check to see if the circuit breaker has tripped or the fuse has blown.
•Check if the louvre unit is properly installed. All lamps on the indicator panel will blink when
the louvre unit is not properly installed.
A LOW BUZZ NOISE EMITTED
This is a sound emitted when the unit is
generating Plasmacluster ions.
THE OUTDOOR UNIT DOES NOT STOP
After stopping the operation, the outdoor
unit will rotate its fan for about a minute to
cool down the unit.
